My new microscope didn't come with an assembly manual, so this video was a lifesaver :) thanks!!!

I know she will never see this, but I know a trick on starting threads like that. Here for everybody: get everything lined up close and then turn the male part backwards-until you feel or hear the click. Stop. Then turn proper into the threads and engage will be nearly instant.
The click is when the ends of both threads pass each other whilst being pushed together. That sets them up for a fast engagement. If you don't find the click then you're not mating the leading threads together in the first place, try for better alignment and keep back turning until you find it. This is most helpful with threaded plastics and other soft materials where cross-threading could most easily occur.

I bought a trinocular scope amd put it together, but there was no packing list. I have a little blue lens in a tiny zip-loc...does that go under the plate, facing the light?
